(New to Mac) How to burn ripped movies and .avi files to a DVD on macbook pro

Okay I copied a movie (that I own btw lol) to my computer to see if I can burn it. When I ripped it using "Mac The Ripper" it made a folder on my desktop and when I opened it it contained a folder named "VIDEO_TS" (snap shot here) and I have no idea what to do what these files. No idea what program to use or anything. Totally lost.

Also, I have a bunch of avi files I'd like to burn to a DVD. Is it possible to do it the same way as my previous situation? Should I put them in that Mac The Ripper thing. Or is there another program that just burns DVDs from avi files.
Thanks so much for any help I may receive!!
